Absolutely not. The player wanted Strawberry Kiwi Flavor in the Powerade Machine, Wade made it happen. That my friend is a Strong arse offer. If that's violation, we deserve the hammer.
Seems like a terminable offense

Well they got to fire him with cause.
The program was getting penalized and players were going to leave regardless of when it happened.
LSU had cause to fire him from the start. That's why you were able to force him into the clause in his contract.
Doing so would have shown institutional control. Instead, LSU mocked everyone and made things worse. And before you go blaming your old AD, your new AD should have taken care of it immediately.
But hey, you and other LSU fans have been right about this all along, you all seem to have it figured out.

I've never really offered an opinion on it previously, I'm not really a basketball fan.

No, I'm denying he was caught on tape offering money to recruits, which is what the OP stated.
I’m sure that’s why Scott Woodward fired him, the NCAA is imposing allegations, and there is not 1 returning LSU basketball player for the 2022-23 season. Nothing to see here…

Transfer Portal gave us the Death Penalty. It can get you too.

Now you're deflecting from the original conversation and building a strawman argument.
The facts are LSU did not have enough evidence prior to the NOA to fire Wade with cause.
OP said offering money to recruits on a recording was enough to fire with cause, I agreed but said that never happened.
Now that LSU has received a NOA, they have enough to fire Wade with cause so they did.
I'm not really sure what you're rambling on about to be honest.

What was “enough to fire wade with cause”, per his contract, prior to the renegotiation after his suspension?

Apparently not enough as they felt had to renegotiate it.

Not enough to avoid him suing the school. They could have fired him and paid his buyout with what they had back then

Why would you suspend a coach, then renegotiate his contract to include firing for cause in the instance of an NOA? It’s just odd timing right after there was a tape leaked of him talking about an offer to a recruit.

It is exactly as it seems. This guy is wishcasting.

Wade honestly never should have signed that. That gave LSU an easy out and he waived any claim for wrongful termination if they received merely an allegation of a level 1 or 2 offense. Another instance where his ego and narcissism clouded common sense. He gave up any possible monetary leverage he might have conceivable had at the time.

So they could fire him without the chance of a lawsuit regardless how damning the actual evidence was.
This isn't really that hard to understand.

He signed the contract because it meant he could continue getting paid until the hammer fell. The writing was all over the wall. It was the athletic department and university that was holding out to see if the NCAA would fold like they did with UNC or actually follow through on something. They gambled and lost big. Hence the LOIC.

No doubt.
They didn't have enough to fire Wade originally but figured something was up thus the renegotiation so they could fire him at the first sign of trouble.

Disagree.
There's really nothing to indicate that playing ball with the NCAA does anything to "improve" your situation.
Their situation is arguably the same with the NCAA but they didn't have to pay Wade's buyout and go through a nasty lawsuit.

LSU accomplished more than Arkansas has with Wade as the coach.
What a stupid and horrible fricking thread by OP. It definitely isn't a surprise no one respects the piggies.

Do LSU fans still maintain that keeping Wade around was worth it?
Hell yeah it was worth it. We had decent basketball to watch for 5 years which is something we hadn't had in 30 years. Now, we are just right back to where we were before Wade was hired anyway.
